How do you create columns in Wikipedia? If we start linking issues, having them all appear just in one long column, it will look pretty sloppy....--G.B. Blackrock 04:34, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

You could put them into a table, but that's a very clumsy system, and somebody'd have to update the page every time someone creates a new page for an issue. A better solution would be to just include a link at the end to a category for Marvel UK issues. It's an extra click for the reader, but that seems like a better alternative than a page that needs to be constantly updated.

There's also the possibility of using a template for that, but I don't think it'll be feasible. Regardless, I'm going to look into that. --Suki Brits 05:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

A better solution would be to just include a link at the end to a category for Marvel UK issues. Actually, this was what I was envisioning for this page, ultimately, but the "single column" problem would remain....--G.B. Blackrock 05:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

What I meant was, do away with the list altogether, and simply include a link such as Category:Marvel UK issues. But now I see what the problem is: it wouldn't include issues that were in both the UK and US. Here's a proposed solution, which we could use in addition to linking to that category. This obviously isn't the prettiest of examples, but it should give you an idea of what it could look like.

The numbers will simply wrap around when they get high enough. The links could then be piped to the actually issue title; everything filled in would be given a blue link. It could also be used as a template for each issue that appeared in Marvel UK.

What do you think? --Suki Brits 06:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
